    Description

    Nettles, nettles and once again nettles.

    This ingenious plant has lots of wonderful characteristics.
    Since antiquity nettles have been not only used as foodstuff but also as medicinal herbs. Lots of ancient and medieval sources talk about stinging nettles and their usage.

    One of the more arguable ones was for a seemingly superstitious purpose during midsummer.
    In some parts of Europe people dipped nettles into fresh urin (this in itself a most wonderful procedure…) after which they whipped themselves with this runny bunch thinking, that it would strengthen their health, increase their zest for life and enhance fertility…

    To me the most fascinating application is making textiles out of stinging nettles.
    It seems that the process of turning nettle stalks into fibers is rather extensive and therefore costly; thus one hardly finds this type of “viscose” or “rayon” even though the fabric is very sturdy and durable.
    One of the few products you can find is sock wool; the wool becomes more resistant and long-lasting with a small percentage of nettle-viscose in it.
    Looking back one can find lots of sturdy nettle-textiles manufactured during the first world war.
    Since then this material has fallen into oblivion because it’s production is not only costly but it also tends to be rough and rigid.
    Nevertheless a manufacturer from the Himalayas has started to produce this special fibre again: click

    Pharmaceutically speaking nettles are utilized for their high content in phenol carbonic acid and silica. These plus a couple of other components can be used against rheumatism or diseases of the urinary passage.
    Externally nettles in form of tonic water are highly effective against dandruff and itchy scalp.

    Freshly picked nettles cooked like spinach taste nice – especially in form of a quiche or a pite.

    Talking about the showering soap “green”.
    The showering soap “green” is very green because it’s plum full of dried nettles turned into powder.
    “Green” is highly nourishing as a showering and a facial soap because it still contains 12% oil (this is what the soap maker calls “superfatting”).

    Gift ?
    If you would like to give this DuschMödeli as a gift, I could enclose the small card I make for every Mödeli. This card informs about the skin type, the scent and the aromatherapeutic effect of the specific soap of mine.
    I don’t automatically add these cards to a shipment. So if you would like one, simply write so under “remarks” and I’ll stick it into the package.

    Anwendung

    For showering.
    For facial cleansing.

    Either you simply use the piece of soap without any auxiliary implement. Or then you use the practical “DuschSäckli”.
    Another option would be the ingenious magnetic soap holder:  makes things a lot easier in terms of handling.

    Healthy skin
    According to LOTS of feedback I have heard throughout the years the imporant points seem to be:
    – if possible: don’t take a shower on a daily basis
    – use soap (or any cleaning agent) only in the “neuralgic” spots – not on all of the body
    – rinse well – everywhere
    – try not to rub yourself too rigorously with your towel; better would be to pat the moisture away; leaving some water on the skin would be optimal

    Due to the essential oils it’s not recommended for kids unter 3 years of age

    Hard / soft
    Industrial soap or natural soap which is made with palm- or coconut oil tends to be very hard.
    Old olive-oil soap also tends to be hard.

    Relatively fresh natural soap – made without palm- or coconut oil – can be a wee softer than the kinds mentioned above.
    In order to achieve favorable characteristics for our skin, I absolutely want special oils in my recipes 🙂
    And some of these tend to make my soaps a bit less hard.
    This is the reason why I classify my DuschMödeli into different “degrees of hardness”.
    On a scale between 1 (very hard) and 5 (very soft) this Mödeli  would figure at “2“.

    Longevity
    Keep it dry. Don’t let it sit in water. Then it last the longest.
    Helpful could be the soap pouch or the magnet soap holder.
